THE MORNING AFTER: Government Shutdown

Job Creation? Exportation of American Manufacturing?  
Are we still paying a price for NAFTA? Or...was NAFTA a long term commitment to the realities of expanding populations and diminishing employment opportunities?

It's a brave new world and the questionable physical need for a labor force is a different issue than a fiscal imperative. First we must ensure a level playing field...one of the few mandates of a federal government along with protection of our borders from the marauding barbarians and those irascible Canadians! :>)

 I believe that our need for a labor force will continue to diminish as the exponential growth and integration of technology renders such as redundant. Shared employment; shorter work week; spare time management! That's in our future. Not such a bad thing if we learn to adapt. Manufacturing? 3D copiers are just an early clarion call to adapt, accept and integrate.

Nanobots To You All, And To All A Good Defrag.
